Commuters in a medium size city may change how they travel from day to day during the week. A structural equations model is developed to examine commuter’s planning decisions about activities and modes during a work day. The model is applied to the problem of selecting commuter rail in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. On a typical weekday, a commuter’s mode choice is affected by activities at the destination. However, when the commuter is faced with a mix of travel modes over time, the mode choice becomes a significant predictor of non-work/school activities.
Research Highlights
► Structural equations analysis of consumer travel choices.
► Description of consumer choice processes.
► Simultaneous analysis of decisions about activities and mode.
► Proportionate representation of the use of different modes for different activities.
